Country Roads Lyrics

(Hook)
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
That depends where I lay my head tonight
No matter where I go
I'm always thinkin' 'bout them country roads

(Verse 1)
Uh, uh, LA's cool, New York's great
But I wouldn't wanna be anywhere but my home state
Now I've been going everywhere but everywhere doesn't compare
To the, to the thrills. Beverley don’t wanna talk about Hills
Born and raised in the 304
Where everybody tries to drink till they can’t no more
And uh, no matter where I be at on the globe
I’m singing this so everybody knows
And no matter what direction I’m headed I know where I've been
I got my heart at home if I leave I’ll come back again
Been a-round the map but wherever I’m at
The tour bus got a West Virginia welcome mat
So that’s that, ain't nothing gon' replace that pride
Just a West Virginia kid but we're going worldwide
If you were from there you would know how I feel
Think I had my first beer inside of Mountaineer Field, uh

(Hook)
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
That depends where I lay my head tonight
No matter where I go
I'm always thinkin' 'bout them country roads
(Verse 2)
Uh, Texas’s cool DC’s great
But I never wanna be anywhere but my home state
An' Lately I’ve been on the road, but since I’ve been on the road
I feel like everywhere I go I lose another little piece of my soul
Growing up I never thought I’d leave this life
But now I'm runnin' 'round the nation like I'm Pat White
And no matter where I be going tonight
I’ma always rep them gold and blue stripes, uh, yeah

The one thing I was taught from the start
Is I don’t need a big city cause I got big heart
Never knew what it meant till it happened to me
But it helped develop me into the person you see, yeah
I owe a lot to the place I was raised
I just pray that I find my way back one-day
If you were from there you would know how I feel
I’d do anything to see them wild and wonderful hills, uh

(Hook)
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
That depends where I lay my head tonight
No matter where I go
I'm always thinkin' 'bout them country roads

(Bridge)
Everywhere that I go, all the places I’ve been
Don't compare to my home, they say its almost heaven
Yeah, that’s why I never wanna leave
Small town but it got everything that I’ll ever need
And you, never know what you have until its gone
And that why I wrote this song uh, yeah
That's why I never wanna leave
Small town but it got everything that I’ll ever need
And if I do gotta say goodbye that’s cool
Just know my first songs about my high school, uh
(Hook)
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads


I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
That depends where I lay my head tonight
No matter where I go
I'm always thinkin' 'bout them country roads
